Tabletop Escapades - Season 2 Episode 6 "Unbearable Smell"

So. I just arrived home after enduring a horrible smelling cab ride. Then I see this title. Great timing.

It's fine either way, to an extent. Just depends how much you can be bothered to RP. Ideally they RP things, but they shouldn't be forced to do it all the time if they don't feel like it - especially when the player just wants to do something in particular quickly. So occasionally asking to do a check (straight to the point) rather than wasting time doing the RP I think is fine, especially if they want to move the story along. Sometimes the DM rewards players that do the RP. For example, someone could ask to do a check, which the DM may reject or minimize the effect of it. Whereas if the player RPs it, the DM may allow it or improve the reward. This is a way of allowing players to skip RP, but still incentivises them to do the RP in situations that they value.

I might be wrong but I don't think players should call checks, e.g. "I want to make a persuasion check. " Surely players RP and its the DM's job to initiate checks?
